Description
Kimberley, 48 Cowper Road is a truly gracious and elegant 6-bedroom late Victorian family home of great charm and character, which enjoys an enviable position on the sunny southerly side of this sought-after road in the heart of Dublin 6. A wonderful family home with mature, private gardens, Number 48 offers well-appointed accommodation extending to 3348 sq ft / 311 sq m approx., featuring a great balance of living and bedroom space. Superbly positioned on one of Dublin 6's best loved tree-lined roads, it is seldom that houses on this stretch, only a stone's throw from Cowper Luas and several bus routes, come to the market. In the same ownership for almost 40 years, this beautiful home has a terrific welcoming feel and has been lovingly maintained and enjoyed by the current owners and their family. The deceptively generous accommodation features no less than four reception rooms and six bedrooms, two of which have ensuites. The interior has impressive, elegant proportions with original details including high ceilings and handsome fireplaces synonymous with the Victorian era. There is a great flow to the accommodation both downstairs and up, making this a fantastic home offering great space for comfortable everyday living for families with children both young and old alike. The gardens are a real asset to this home with a 'Rus-in-urbe' feel. The front garden with the original wrought iron railings has generous secure off-street parking for several cars and is bordered by mature hedging and trees affording great privacy. A wonderful secluded rear garden (75ft x 39ft approx.) benefits from an ideal south-facing orientation and is set out in lawn with mature borders of specimen trees and herbaceous planting, creating year-round interest. Description of this inviting home would not be complete without reference to its superb, convenient location. The proximity to the Luas stop at Cowper is a great plus as is the proximity to excellent local junior and senior schools. The villages of Rathmines, Ranelagh and Rathgar are all nearby, providing a great selection of local eateries, coffee houses, shopping, parks and sports clubs. Local shopping on Upper Rathmines Road and Dunville Avenue are popular neighbourhood spots, whilst Palmerston Park is central to this vibrant community. Sports clubs nearby include Milltown Golf Club with Brookfield Tennis Club and Dartry Fitness a few minutes' walk away. Some of Dublin's best junior and senior schools are also nearby, including but not limited to, Kildare Place, Scoil Bhríde, St Mary's College, Alexandra College, Sandford National, Sandford Park, Gonzaga College, Stratford College etc..
